Old guitar day - DT200 Destroyer

[mike570]

Got this a while back cheap on the bay but was finally able to replace the pickups. I know the MIJ Destroyers are better but this one growls pretty well.
"Mr. Smith" has a Super Distortion in the bridge and a Humbucker from Hell in the neck. I'd highly recommend this combo on this guitar!

Nice one and that's a fine looking axe! I know super distortions work great in mahogany guitars (got one in a Guild S300D).

What is the neck profile like?

Are you going to put a cover on the neck bucker to make it look like a DT50?

[mike570]

No on the cover. I envisioned creme pickups right when I got it. I should say this thing sounded sweet with the Powersounds that came with it. No BS! Loads of sustain! I can hear it clear as a bell unamplified.
The neck profile feels similar to Wizard 2, only at a shallower 24.75" scale. Its easier to get around than a W2, but my fingers seem to crowd up a bit when chording on the low frets. My hands are a bit big, though.
I'd like to get a DT-420 but I'll probably be on the lookout for another 200, maybe in CA or black.
Being an old Maiden fan, it's so great being able to get that sound!

Another old maiden fan here and I have of of the rare DT420 in Europe. They're great and worth every penny so I'd get of of these if I were you.

Good hunt!
